Unfortunately, the music player on the lock screen only works with certain apps, such as SoundCloud, Spotify, and Google Music. I can't recall the other ones but there are a few that work and some that don't. So far, it's been by chance that we have been able to figure what works and what doesn't.

Isn't that a huge bummer? Literally the only thing that is bugging me about the device. Running a OP3 right now.

In my previous experience, the lockscreen music player was dependant on the lock screen style. This is when I had 4.1. I never had issues with the magazine lockscreen, which is the stock emui lockscreen. Try finding a different theme that uses a custom lockscreen and see if that helps. If that does work, you can then download emui editor from the app store and adjust a theme with that lockscreen.

I use Amazon prime music and unfortunately that doesn't show on the lock screen. I guess that's not surprising, Google and Amazon apps don't usually work together. I prefer Google play, which shows on the lock screen, but Google play is not compatible with Amazon echo.
